2006.07.11(Review of 2003.11.10 edition)
We are the sum of all our past thoughts and actions, and we live with the results. A business, too, is the sum total of decisions made and implemented in the past. The trouble is, it's not always possible to forecast the future results of the actions we take!
CONSEQUENCE （よくない）結果
- A consequence is a result (especially a negative one) caused by a previous action, situation, etc.
- consequences は、事前の行動や状況などがもたらす事態、つまり、結果、という意味で、特に好ましくない結果をさすときに使います。
- The consequences of plagiarism can be devastating. It can bring an early end to any writer's career.
- The lawyer argued that the employee's death was a direct consequence of overwork and stress.
- Rapidly increasing oil prices have had serious consequences for the transportation industry.
- Our production has fallen by 65% as a consequence of the workers' strike.
- Unless we deal with this problem now, we'll be suffering the consequences for years to come.
Take care!
